[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#550773: devicekit-disks: No longer spins down hard disks

[Sven Arvidsson]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 007-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm using devicekit-disks (through gnome-power-manager) to spin down
an external SATA drive. This worked fine up to a few days ago.

Manually setting the disks to spin down by using devkit-disks from the
command line returns no errors or warnings.

I have tried both the package from unstable, and the one in
experimental, no difference. 

Could the udev upgrade (from 146-3 to 146-4/5) have broken this?
